10 Health Facts You Need to Know

Posted on September 1, 2015 by Maintenance in Body Health, Emotional Health, Mental Health No Comments

The human body, your primary interface to interact with physical reality.  You can have the shiniest car and the nicest house, but if your health is shot to hell all of that will mean very little.  So without much ado I’d to list 10 health facts you need to know to live optimally and enjoy living in the body you’ve been given.

1. Herbicides in GMOs are Carcinogenic (Cancer Causing)

The WHO (World Health Organization) has released a report that roundup is a carcinogen “glysophate” the key component in Monsanto’s herbicide “roundup”.   More info here.

2. Standing on One Foot for Over 20 Seconds will Show if You are Vulnerable to a Stroke or Not

This is due to small cerebreal blockages in the brain and micro tears in vessels throughout the brain.  People who were unable to stand on one leg for over 20 seconds where found to have a much greater risk of having cerebral small vessel disease. More info here.

3. Lemon + Water in the Morning is a Excellent Way to Rejuvenate Your Body

Want to know the secret to having refreshing looking skin, energy and hydration?  Have a glass of spring water with a slice of lemon.  Not only does it hydrate your body and make you look and feel more refreshed but it also is a gentle way to detox your cells. More info here.

4. Regularly Ingesting Turmeric Can Spur Brain Tissue Growth

The popular herb from India has been proven to spur “Neurogenesis”, generating new brain cells even in adults.  More info here.

5. Your Moods are Affected by the Bacteria in Your Gut

Scientists are finding fascinating evidence that the quality of our thinking and our emotions is heavily dependent on having healthy gut bacteria. More info here.

6. Heavy Metals in Common House Hold Products are the Main Contributor to Alzheimers

Did you know that many deoderants use aluminum to mask perspiration?  That same aluminum has been linked with Dementia including alzheimers.  Aluminum is so pervasive in our consumer products yet we take it for granted that it won’t harm our health. More info here.

7. The Colour, Shape and Texture of Your Stool is a Good Indicator of Your Health

Ok so it’s not something that most people would talk about during dinner parties.  But the quality of your stool is a fairly accurate signal from everything to liver disease to whether you have cancer.  More info here.

8. CDC has Hidden Records Showing a Connection Between Autism and Vaccines

Even mentioning vaccines and Autism in the same sentence is controversial would be a understatement.  Yet for years it has been denied that there was ever any mercury in vaccines (which there are).  Now a whistle blower from the CDC (Center For Disease Control) has sworn under oath in a Congressional hearing that the CDC knew that there was a connection between vaccines and Autism.  More info here.

9. The Colour and Texture of Your Tongue is a Good Health Indicator

Not everyone’s tongue is the same colour, depending upon the state of your health it can range from black to pale white and everything in between.  The range of these colours can indicate everything from allergies to parasite infections. More info here.

10. Vitamin D3 Deficency is One of the Leading Causes of Depression in North America

SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a disorder of the brain which usually manifests as mild to acute depression.  It usually affects people who stay indoors a lot and don’t get enough sunlight or vitamin D3.  Up to 20% of the North American population suffers in some form or another of this disorder.  More info here.   Image courtesy of Stuart Miles at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Microbiome and Gut Health

Posted on June 14, 2015 by Bio Man in Body Health, Mental Health No Comments

What makes a human healthy?  For as long as history has recorded illness, people have tried to figure out the underlying principle of disease.  It is more than just an academic thought, modern society is so obsessed with classifying diseases and sickness that they have forgotten the other side to life; healthiness.  The secret to robustness and vitality may quite literally lie deep inside our bowels; deep inside our microbiome and gut health.

Thank Gut Bacteria for Keeping You Alive and Healthy

Scientists now know that humans are made up of about 90% bacteria and 10% DNA material.  You have over a 100 trillion microbes inside you and outside of your body.  The previous paradigm of anti-bacterial everything has proven to be extremely detrimental  to our body’s delicate bio-ecology. The microbiota that resides in our guts and even on our skin helps provide robust health to humans.  This is done by providing immune homeostasis.  

Homeostasis refers to keeping our bodies systems in balance. Examples of this are body temperature, Glucose levels for energy, calcium for PH balance and fluid volume.  If your homeostasis is out of balance then you will become susceptible to disease, infections, illnesses and even death.

The role that our microbiome plays in keeping us healthy is in its ability to be the workhorse of our body’s bio-ecology.  Microbiota has evolved over millions of years to provide digestion, production of nutrients, protection against foreign micro-organisms, parasites and detoxification.

Vaccine Deaths, Autism and the Gut Health Connection

Something strange is happening in the world of vaccines today.  More and more people are questioning the effectiveness and safety of vaccines after the predicted global “Bird Flu” outbreak fizzled.  Billions of tax dollars were spent anticipating a major global epidemic and yet the number of casualties numbered in the few hundreds at most (since 1996).

Add to the fact that a court in Italy did a partial ban of a batch of vaccines in Italy after 13 children died. But was let off the hook shortly after selling out to GlaxoKlineSmith.  In addition a CDC whistleblower testified that there was hard data linking Thimerosal (mercury) in vaccines to autism, non-organic sleep disorders, and speech disorders.  And yet no main stream media network covered this explosive revelation.  For an overview of this controversy I recommend viewing this youtube clip by clicking here.

In the 21’st century it is only now that independent discoveries into the significance of microbiota has revealed just how damaging vaccines, antibiotics and artificial sugars can inflict on our neurology and immunity. Though of course you will not hear about this from the mainstream media or the extremely powerful pharmaceuticals.

British Neurologist Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride believes the increasing rates of autism afflicting children today is due to overwhelming toxicity in our diet, medicines and environment.  This results in a wholesale genocide of the beneficial gut flora in our bodies which can then lead to electrical and chemical imbalances in our physiology (homeostasis).  As Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride describes succinctly: 

“What happens in these children [is that] they do not develop normal gut flora from birth…” she says. “Gut flora is a hugely important part of our human physiology. Recently research in Scandinavia has demonstrated that 90 percent of all cells and all genetic material in a human body is our own gut flora. We are just a shell… a habitat for this mass of microbes inside us. We ignore them at our own peril.

…As a result, their digestive system — instead of being a source of nourishment for these children — becomes a major source of toxicity. These pathogenic microbes inside their digestive tract damage the integrity of the gut wall. So all sort of toxins and microbes flood into the bloodstream of the child, and get into the brain of the child. That usually happens in the second year of life in children who were breast-fed because breastfeeding provides a protection against this abnormal gut flora. In children who were not breastfed, I see the symptoms of autism developing in the first year of life.

So breastfeeding is crucial to protect these children.”

Gut Health is literally the Core of Our Health and Being

Far from something that should be completely sterilized, bacteria in its many forms is something which plays a critical part of our make up (up to 90%).  To foolishly categorize all bacteria as something to be eliminated or taken for granted is something which will put all of humanity in perpetual illness, disease and misery.

Mental Health is More Than Just Your Brain

Posted on March 28, 2015 by Bio Man in Body Health, Mental Health 2 Comments

I was just reading an article earlier today about MIT scientist: Dr. Stephanie Seneff.  She proclaims that in the next 10 years half of all children born will fall into the autistic spectrum.

Let that last sentence sink in for a moment. Right now, Autism is occurring at a rate of 1 in 68 children born today.  Up from 1 in 10,000 in the 1980’s,  clearly something has drastically changed from that time on to now.

Gut Bacteria and The Link to Your Brain

The saying “food for thought” may be more profound than one realizes.  With the Standard North American Diet (S.A.D) our very biology is fighting a losing battle with processed foods, pesticides, mineral and nutrient deficient food.  This in turn has lead to a generation afflicted with ailments that our ancestors did not have to deal with.  IBS, Crohn’s disease, gluten allergies  and leaky guts the list goes on and on.

With the constant exposure to such a wide variety of toxins is it such a surprise why many of us have allergies?  For some of us those allergies can be deadly.  It’s been stated that up to 70% of our immune system is located in our gut.  The very same gut we have been sterilizing and bombarding with antibiotics, artificial sugars, alcohol and debilitating stress.

With that in mind, I’d like to refer to some research which states that many of the chemicals with which we associate with just the brain can actually be found in our guts.  Neurochemicals such as GABA, serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine and melatonin which the brain uses to regulate its neurochemistry.

The True Source of Many Mental Illnesses?

Now is it any wonder that when people are suffering from severe mental health issues? e.g. Bipolar, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s. Could the main cause and source of these diseases simply be a chemical deficiency or severe imbalance in the patient’s gut microbiome? Such a diagnosis would require a complete paradigm shift in how we view the connections between mind, brain and body.

Modern medicine has run on the philosophy that the mental function and bodily function are two separate physiological systems with little overlap, but as the research is showing the gut can have an effect on the brain and the brain can have an effect on the gut.  The mind and body are not totally separate but are in fact part of a sophisticated holistic feedback loop.  If body is compromised then our mental health will be affected too.

When you think about it, maybe our ancestors were on to something when they referred to our gut’s as the “Second Brain”.

Detox at the Cellular Level

Posted on March 28, 2015 by Bio Man in Body Health, Mental Health No Comments

It’s a dirty world out there, outdoor pollution, indoor pollution, car pollution, food pollution, ocean pollution . . . You get the point, but most of us are completely baffled by why so many of us are getting sick.  In short we need something to help us detox at the cellular level regularly. 

Those same diseases can cripple us, sap our energy and even destroy our minds.

Our bodies are at war . . . with our own environments

It is estimated that your body is exposed to over 700,000 chemicals daily.  With that much exposure to chemicals, it is critical that your basic bodily functions be in optimal condition.  

Bodily functions in this context being able to excrete bodily wastes, sweating appropriately, breathing etc.  But the irony of living in the modern age is that those important bodily functions are being heavily impeded by our hectic, highly artificial environments and foods.

A powerful element to aid in detoxification

Despite the massive wave of chemicals, radiation and poisons being thrown our way, nature has given us help.  The element “I” or more specifically Iodine, is a critical element used by our body for cellular detoxification.  

Iodine has gained something of a bad rep nowadays due to the fact it was heavily abused in salt shakers in the 50’s and 70’s.  The result of which was high blood pressure, hypertension and fluid retention in susceptible individuals.  Iodine was effectively demonized and wiped out of the public consciousness during that time frame.

Benefits of Iodine

Iodine has been documented to aid in the following:

  • reduce anxiety
  • enhance energy and stamina
  • prevents goiters
  • clear brain fog
  • prevents retardation in new borns
  • rudimentary antioxidant
  • used to prevent fibrocystic breast disease and breast cancer
  • can remove sodium fluoride toxicity out of your body
  • ADHD
  • Autism
  • Cellular detoxification

A man by the name of Dr. Brownstein believes that in today’s modern society there is an epidemic of iodine deficiency.  And that many of the mental issues and health problems that are popping up are more of a symptom of iodine deficiency than a standalone disease.

Iodine is starting to make a come back

With the incidences of cancer and mental disorders abounding, some people have taken the unconventional medical route.  Instead of buying pharmaceutical pills, many people have realized that they are simply iodine deficient and need to increase their uptake of it.  

I can personally testify that after taking an iodine supplement my concentration has improved noticeably.  My anxiety levels are nearly non-existent and my thinking is much clearer.  Not too mention the other health improvements to my body (energy).

One powerful tool to help survive in a toxic world

Iodine can be a powerful tool in your arsenal of low level celluar detoxification.  Combining iodine with a exercise regimen and a regular diet full in raw fruits and vegetables is a step towards achieving optimal health.
